Check the Environment
During screening, it is important to control noise in the environment as much as possible.
Screening is faster when background noise and patient generated noise is low. Take measures
to control such noise, or find a quieter room, if possible.
Assess the Patient for Screening
Patients with the following characteristics are appropriate for screening:
• Term, healthy newborns
• Infants 34 weeks gestational age or older
• Infants who are ready for discharge or scheduled to go home within a few days
• Infants who are sleeping or in a relaxed state (usually after a recent feeding)
• Infants in an open crib
• Patients with normal outer ear anatomy and no obvious deformities of the head or neck
• Patients who are receiving no central nervous system (CNS) stimulants
Screening a patient in a less optimal state, such as when a baby is awake or a patient is
medically unstable, is not recommended and may increase screening time. Qualified medical,
nursing, or audiological personnel need to conduct the screening in less than optimal situations
